-Botan CMS alpha1
-December 12, 2003
-
-To use this, download a recent version of Botan (1.2.8 or 1.3.7 are best), and
-move the source files to src/, the headers to include/ and then run
-configure/make as normal. You will then have a CMS encoder/decoder. There are a
-couple of testing apps in testing/ which should show the general idea. Lots of
-it is unimplemented (which it will tell you by throwing exceptions), but basic
-RSA encryption/signatures and a few other things work OK. The encoder is much
-more complete than the decoder.
-
-The encoder works by initializing it with some bits, then calling some number
-of operations on it (compress(), digest(), encrypt(), etc) which successfully
-'envelope' the data. The decoder works exactly the same, except backwards. (Of
-course!)
-
-This was supposed to have been finished by now, but it's kind of stalled. I
-want CMS support, I just don't really want to code it. So I've been occupying
-myself with various distractions. I'll probably finish it *someday*.
-
-If someone out there really wants this soon, and is willing to pay some nominal
-consulting fee (we're talking cheap), let me know and we can talk about
-it. I think I need some external motivation of some sort to force me to tell
-with the mess that is CMS.
